• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Washing Vegetables and Fruit

I would never eat raw ingredients without washing them. That is what a strainer is for. It doesn't matter if the water I wash it in is scalding hot or freezing cold. Some type of anti-pesticides and random elements has to be applied to this situation or the family(or friends) you're cooking for will end up sick.
